If it was a wham, bam, THANK YOU, would it have been different for you Paul. For me, the respect thing really stands out because of my Japanese heritage. We lived so close to our neighbors back in the 50's I could touch their house through the window yet there was no such thing as a squabble.

Don't lose sight of the greatness here but we all really need to figure out how to coexist. We all have pretty much the same goals but much different deliveries.

I'm really sorry this happened in a way that leaves a bad taste in your mouth Paul AND Don. You guys have helped me through it when I felt the same way. I owe it to both of you to pay that back.
